The Ukrainian President had warned the people, asking them to take extra caution because he feared bigger attacks from Russia. Parades and mass gatherings have been cancelled. In a video message the President said:

"On this day, the second all-Ukrainian referendum actually took place. Again — the main question. Again — a decisive choice. But this time it was necessary to say "yes" to independence not in the ballot, but in the soul and conscience." "Every new day is a new reason not to give up. Because, having gone through so much, we have no right not to reach the end."
